Not too many films devoted to the life and relationships of older people. But if you take into account how many of them really good... And it is clear: money to the creators of such movies definitely not will bring. The more valuable than this film.
Meanwhile, this theme (and the death) should worry everyone. After all, if we are lucky or not lucky, we all find ourselves in place the heroes of this picture. It when the number of deaths of people you know loved, is much greater than the one who even with you.
The two main characters of the painting have lost their spouses and, although they have a certain way of life, they are alone. Yes, the main character has a male social circle, a character — best friend, but from loneliness at night is not saved.
Also in the film there is the conflict between fathers and children, which shows that even grown up children according to remain selfish. And believe their elderly parents must drop everything and first call them to come to him help. Therefore, the film is not is a solid positive effect. However, and drama, too. It ending it all gives more reason for optimism than Vice versa.
This film is a clear proof that in old main and the leading role played by the quality of the script that allows even an ordinary life story to show fresh and interesting.
What can I say about the main characters in the movie in the performance of Jane Fonda (Eddie) and Robert Redford (Louis)? In addition to good — nothing. Huge acting experience and professionalism for face. Really don't know how to relate to other critical actors in real life, but in the film they can perfectly show all stages of development of relations from shyness and awkwardness to care and love.
However, it is not disappoint and secondary actors. Ian Armitage (the grandson of Eddie) have shown excellent work and from the boy who has become alienated and plays on the phone becomes alive and a curious child. Matthias Sonants (son of Eddie) — the image of a confused and need the mother of his son. Judy Greer (daughter of Louis) played not a big role, but quite well.
Thus, this movie is well told and shows history, perfectly played by the actors and not frail meaning. Exactly all the components that need to a good movie.
Do not care read the poem of Marina Boikova "man needs man", whose name and became the title of this review. It is not great, but it is beautifully expressed all those ideas that seem to this film. As sorry there are consequences for plagiarism, and also, IMDb does not allow to insert the verses, does not it?
But seriously — nice view all good.
